Part 4/13:
Education and Promotion: The Power of Self-Pitching
Christa emphasized the value of practicing live pitches—whether for investors or community engagement. Drawing from personal experiences, she highlighted that unscripted, authentic presentations help overcome stage fright and build confidence. Audience members, including non-native English speakers, shared their first-time pitch anxieties, encouraging everyone to participate regularly to improve their communication.
The event also underlined how consistent participation can lead to community recognition, collabs, and new opportunities. Each speaker can promote their project, art, or tech, with dedicated slots for demonstrations and a short Q&A. This open format nurtures mentorship, peer feedback, and collective growth.
